An art furniture system that provides a tabletop is provided. The tabletop includes an easel region, a first and a second stationary region. The easel region is hingedly attached to the first stationary region. The art furniture system also includes two side supports. A first side support is disposed under, and fixedly attached to, the first stationary region. A second side support is disposed under, and fixedly attached to, the second stationary region. When the easel region is undeployed, the easel region is located between the first stationary region and the second stationary region such that the two stationary regions and the easel region form a flat surface. When the easel region is fully deployed, it is disposed at an angle between 83° and 88°, and most preferably at angle of 86°, with respect to a plane formed by a top surface of the first and second stationary regions.
